Trucks line up in front of a gas station in Nanjing, the capital city of East China's Jiangsu province on Nov 9,2010. The latest diesel fuel shortage has lasted for weeks throughout China. Statistics from the Petroleum Circulation Commission of China General Chamber of Commerce (CGCC) shows the amount of national diesel gas in stock has dropped 26% or 2,500,000 tons consecutively for five months, which has caused more than 2,000 private medium-sized gas stations shut down. Many gas stations have started to ration petrol per costumer as a measure to ease the tight supply.[Photo/Asianewsphoto]
